Kui Budu took a sip of tea before replying, “I’m not sure, Sect leader should be here later. Shidi, be patient and wait.”

Zhou Yinyu had been looking at the warm jade in his hand and didn’t notice anything strange about Kui Budu. Hearing what he said, he felt that he wasn’t very curious either. He retracted his arm again, leaning back on the chair lazily and playing with the jade, looking a bit like a beauty lying drunk.

Those people from the White Tiger Sect swept their eyes towards Zhou Yinyu from time to time, and the disciples waiting on the side looked straight at him. They couldn’t blame the four sects for saying that Vermillion Bird Sect’s Yinyu-xianjun was more beautiful than Guanyin. This statement was absolutely true.

The jade crown was high and the body was wrapped in white clothes. Regardless of the beautiful appearance, the unique cold aura of the body could make people feel awe that could only be seen from a distance. What was more, Zhou Yinyu was only half a step away from entering the realm of god transformation with the blessing of force.

Zhou Yinyu seemed unable to feel the eyes of others, and kept his head lowerd while fiddling with the things in his hands. Nan Ziqi, on the other hand, looked at the opposite side with slightly narrowed eyes with a gloomy look on his face. The people who were stared at by him felt so cold that they quickly looked away.

Not long after, the head of Vermillion Bird Sect and the head of the White Tiger Sect appeared outside the door, followed by a veiled female cultivator. Zhou Yinyu glanced at them and didn’t recognize them. He stayed at Fuyun Peak all year round and didn’t know many people.

Nan Ziqi suddenly spoke and explained to him in a low voice, “This is the miss of the White Tiger Sect, Bai Xiyue.” Zhou Yinyu was surprised that Nan Ziqi observed others so carefully, while putting away the warm jade in his hand and nodding to show his acknowledgement.

The two heads were seated in the main hall, and Bai Xiyue was sitting right across Zhou Yinyu.

“Ahem, it’s like this. I have called everyone here today, it’s nothing else but for a happy event. The White Tiger Sect and Vermillion Bird Sect have had a very good relationship for many years. Now the demon clan is getting stronger and is approaching our Vermillion Bird Domain. At this moment we should share the same hatred.”

The elders of the two sects present obviously had no prior knowledge and looked at the two sect masters one after another, wondering what the Vermillion Bird Sect master meant by this.

The leader of the White Tiger Sect stroked his beard and laughed happily, “Therefore, I and the leader of the Li Yuan Sect discussed and decided that if the disciples of the two sects are willing, they can form a Taoist couple contract. The road to spiritual practice is long, and it is not something that can only be done by one person. This is also the case. It can strengthen the internal unity of our Immortal Sect, what do you think?”

After Shang Yang said this, he paused. When no one responded, he continued, “Although Xiyue is my daughter, she has not been pampered since she was a child. Now she is at golden core at a young age. To show the mutual support between the two sects, I am willing to marry my daughter to Vermillion Bird Sect.”

He said nothing else, but glanced at Zhou Yinyu vaguely.

As soon as these words came out, the elders of the two sects were stunned. Even if there is a good relationship between the two sects, there was no need to marry off the daughter. This was an immortal sect, not the mortal world, so was a marriage necessary?

Kui Budu cultivated the ruthless dao, and he didn’t care about this matter. Zhou Yinyu lowered his eyes and had no expression on his face. Nan Ziqi looked at Bai Xiyue and saw that she was also looking in Zhou Yinyu’s direction, and frowned unconsciously. The other elders were talking attentively, but no one raised any objections, and some even had joy on their faces.

However, the third elder of the White Tiger Sect spoke at this time, “Two heads, it is good for the two sects to have a good relationship, but do we still need to consider this matter in the long term? After all, forming a contract between Daoists is not a trivial matter.”

Fu Kongqing frowned and seemed not to agree with this matter. And what expressions did the elders at Vermillion Bird Sect have? It doesn’t look like he’s buying it!

Just as Bai Xiyue was about to speak, a disciple of the White Tiger Sect who was covered in blood suddenly broke in from outside the hall and reported urgently, “Outside, the Demon Lord broke in.” Then he fell to the ground and never got up again.

Everyone in the hall immediately looked out the door, and Shang Yang said angrily, “Great! I want to see how powerful this demon lord is. How dare he be so presumptuous before he has survived the thunder tribulation!” He spoke with a sense of his own. The sect elders walked outside.

Zhou Yinyu’s heart sank and he walked out, Duan Jiuqing, did you grow a bear’s heart and a leopard’s courage? You dared to come out and cause trouble in a place where four sects gathered together!

Nan Ziqi followed closely behind, looking at Zhou Yinyu’s slightly pursed lips, and felt that his reaction seemed unusual.

When everyone came to the long steps of the Immortal Alliance Hall, they saw many cultivators lying on the ground, holding their wounds and moaning in pain, but the demon lord who had hurt people had long disappeared.

Zhou Yinyu stood aside and looked around, wondering what Duan Jiuqing was doing. Why were all the people lying on the ground from the White Tiger Sect? What was he doing when he suddenly came out to start this fight?

Shang Yang, the leader of the White Tiger Sect, was furious and vowed to slash the demon lord with his own hands. People from other sects helped to carry the wounded, and they were also thinking about why the demon lord singled out people from the White Tiger Sect.

Zhou Yinyu could only shake his head helplessly. Duan Jiuqing hurt so many Immortal Sect cultivators in public today, he was really slapping the White Tiger Sect in the face.

Now that something like this happened, and the marriage between the two families that had been discussed at Hualing Terrace could only be shelved temporarily. The sect master Li Yuan frowned deeper than Zhou Yinyu. He turned to Zhou Yinyu and the others and said he would return to the clan tomorrow, then walked away.

Kui Budu looked puzzled, stared at Li Yuan’s back and asked, “Junior brother, why does the sect leader look so angry? It’s not our Vermillion Bird Sect who is being beaten.” Zhou Yinyu couldn’t guess and could only shake his head.

Kui Budu had always been big-hearted and did not continue to think about this matter. He scratched his head and said to Zhou Yinyu and Nan Ziqi, “Hey, I heard that the wine in Spirit Mountain is good. We finally got out, so why not try it together!”

“Alright. I haven’t had a drink for a long time. Yinyu, if you have nothing to do, let’s go together.” Nan Ziqi said.

Zhou Yinyu was originally going to decline. He wanted to go back and see if Duan Jiuqing had left. But when second-shixiong said this, he could only accept it.

On the way, he met Bai Xiyue, and Zhou Yinyu was delayed for a while. By the time he got to Kui Budu’s yard, Kui Budu and Nan Ziqi were already drinking.

Seeing him coming, Kui Budu put his big hammer aside, picked up a jar of wine and filled it for Zhou Yinyu, “Junior brother, anyone who comes late will have to drink three cups as a penalty. Come here quickly.”

As soon as Zhou Yinyu sat down, he drank three cups of wine. Fortunately, it didn’t taste very strong. But Zhou Yinyu didn’t drink much. As soon as he took the drink, he frowned and then furrowed his eyebrows.

“We brothers have not been so close in many years and gotten together to drink.” Kui Budu sighed while pouring himself wine.

Nan Ziqi looked at Kui Budu’s posture, and it seemed that he would not return until he was drunk. He stretched out his hand to stop him from pouring another drink for Zhou Yinyu.

“Second-shixiong, Yinyu can’t drink so much. We have to go back to the sect tomorrow, so you should drink less.”

Kui Budu quit after hearing this, “We agreed to come to drink today, how can we not get drunk!” He reached out and patted away Nan Ziqi’s hand that was holding him, picked up the wine glass and walked over, and happily threw an arm over Nan Ziqi, ” Ziqi, come, drink with me!”

Nan Ziqi knocked off his arm. He was so entangled that he could only pick up the glass and drink.

It’s rare for Zhou Yinyu to see the always good-tempered third-shixiong being so impatient, and it’s quite funny. The second-shixiong’s burly body was half pressed against the person, thanks to the fact that he was a cultivator.

They drank until late, and Kui Budu was extremely drunk. Nan Ziqi also drank a lot. Zhou Yinyu didn’t drink as much as the two of them, but he was still half drunk and half awake. The cool breeze in the yard made Zhou Yinyu sober again.

Looking at the two drunk people in front of him, he had no choice but to get up. He helped Nan Ziqi lie down on the stone table, and it took a lot of effort to lift Kui Budu’s several hundred kilogram body. Drunk people were especially heavy, and Zhou Yinyu was extremely tired after helping him back to his room.

Nan Ziqi was a swordsman like him, and his body shape was similar to his. It was much easier for Zhou Yinyu to help him up. He put Nan Ziqi’s arm on his shoulder and helped him walk back. Nan Ziqi was quiet along the way, unlike Kui Budu who was still drunk and crazy.

Zhou Yinyu helped him back to the room, and when he was about to leave, the drunk man with his eyes closed suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhou Yinyu’s wrist.
